[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5824848, member: 1409"] I never expected you to agree or see everything the same as some are seeing things. And I believe you're crying more about my thoughts than I'm crying about the velvet hunt? I'm definitely not doing that. Erroneous assumption on your behalf. You don't know me, at all. I don't know you either, but am taking your word for face value. I totally agree with this. I am also a trophy deer hunter, and haven't meant to come across as putting you down in any way. You asked for my opinion, then went on the "attack the messenger" when you didn't like my thoughts. Never said you were. Only saying the reality is we, as hunters, are in the minority of people, and avid trophy hunters (like you, and me) are in the minority of hunters. You are correct. Fortunately at the moment, the [U]anti[/U]-hunting crowd doesn't out-number those who hunt. But the [B]non[/B]-hunting crowd (which included antis) greatly outnumbers us. One of my concerns is more [B]non[/B]-hunters becoming [B]anti[/B]-hunters. Our actions and appearances to the non-hunters effect the direction this goes. Not at all afraid. But do understand the reality of a super-majority typically getting their way over a minority when it comes to voting on issues. As hunters, we are in the minority, and our image to non-hunters does matter. I just disagree with you. [I]"Sport" [/I]hunting as we have known it is going to diminish, particularly on public lands. Never mind that you and I are on the same page in believing our hunting is totally ethical and a legitimate thing for us to be doing with much of our time. That even includes either of us participating in a summertime trophy velvet buck hunt. [/QUOTE]
